alsemanche 93,864 Posted August 9 Author Share Posted August 9 She's done it again What an utterly beautiful and soft and devastating album. Not a single bad moment on this album. Tempest is a career highlight and probably her best song to date. RIP Ethel Cain, you will be missed. Soft, soothing, and succulent 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Debithius 5,863 Posted August 9 Share Posted August 9 Tempest is so amazing. I am just very sad that Ethel dreaded making this album. She said that she didn't feel anything while making it and that she was crying every day from the thought of having to work on it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

tomsches 17,401 Posted August 9 Share Posted August 9 Great Album. I love it. But it’s very sad and depressing so I don’t know how many times I can listen to it in full. If I had to criticize it I would say that maybe, besides **** Me Eyes, there could have been one more a Little more upbeat song and some of the songs don’t have to be as long as they are. But Overall Great and I cant wait to hear it live in November. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
vmpiregrn 996 Posted August 9 Share Posted August 9 Thank God. So, to be honest, the production isn’t really clicking for me at times — it has this sort of tin-ny quality that is common in a lot of slowcore music but that I feel just jumbles the more rhythmically complex songs, like Nettles, but works really well at other times, like Dust Bowl. It’s enough of a hang up that it’s hard for me to get over in the parts where it doesn’t work. But I’m enjoying the album, I’m a huge fan of Ethel.

Thank you for clarifying. I feel better about listening to it now. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elohim 1,739 Posted August 9 Share Posted August 9 Amazing. She really captured the nostalgia, the long ass tracks and instrumentals almost feels like a fever dream. Nettles is one of the most beautifully written snd produced songs I heard in years! also Dust Bowl album version with the amazing guitar riffs is to die for. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ladle Ghoulash 24,995 Posted August 9 Share Posted August 9 (edited) Ngl I like the feel and warmth of this record more than the overall vibe/aesthetic of Preacher’s Daughter. Her vocals are excellent. Crazy to me how much she sounds like Florence sometimes.

Sestri Levante 1,057 Posted August 9 Share Posted August 9 (edited) This is an insane journey, I'm totally amazed by how amazing the sound design and ambient moments were built. It's beautiful.

elijahfan 26,298 Posted August 10 Share Posted August 10 Had it on repeat the whole weekend. I pretty much died, ascended and was revived several times during my first listen, it's such a beautiful album... Even though the subject matter is depressing, it feels very hopeful to me. It feels a lot lighter than Preacher's Daughter. I'm pretty big on melancholic music, it somehow doesn't depress me, it just makes me feel seen. Ethel is shaping up to become one of my favorite artists currently, I can't wait to see her again in a couple months. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
